Today was a good, albeit pricey "town" day at VVR. They use a tab system here, and it's easy to spend way too much money. I'm not looking forward to hearing the final damage tomorrow. Nevertheless, I am well fed, rested, and resupplied on all items except for fuel which I'll get first thing in the morning. VVR has been overwhelmed by hikers and was supposed to get its own resupply tonight. the store and restaurant are low on just about everything including all-important denatured alcohol AND ice cream!
I'm planning to catch the 9:00 ferry tomorrow with Wash Out and Smiles. There are a couple of resupply possibilities for the upcoming section, and I'm tentatively planning to hit Red's Meadow with Tourist and Smiles. The options will be pretty limited there, but it is only two days away and right on the trail....hard to pass by. Wash Out is planning to head into Mammoth which will have more options but is several miles hiking and a hitch out of the way. The current plan is to reconvene in Tuolumne in four days and possibly do a side trip into the Yosemite Valley. I'll keep you posted!
